Abstract

The invention provides a method, a system and a lens for improving imaging resolution by using a square hole type liquid crystal lens. The system comprises a camera, a glass main lens, the square hole type liquid crystal lens, a polarizing film and a target object, the method comprises the following steps: (1) acquiring an image sequence by utilizing the optical axis movement of the square hole type liquid crystal lens; and (2) obtaining a high-resolution image by using an image reconstruction algorithm based on the image sequence. Compared with the prior art, the super-resolution sampling of the object is realized on the basis of no mechanical movement, the complexity of the system is reduced, the reliability is improved, and the cost is saved. According to the method, the step of image registration is omitted, and the image calculation efficiency is improved while the image reconstruction effect is ensured. Compared with a previous round hole type optical axis movable lens, the square hole type liquid crystal lens used in the invention is more stable, and the characteristic change of the lens is smaller after the optical axis is moved, so that the obtained image sequence is clearer, and the subsequent resolution improvement effect is better.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of optical imaging, and relates to a method, a system and a lens for improving imaging resolution by using a square-hole liquid crystal lens. Background technique [0002] Liquid crystals are anisotropic. The liquid crystal lens is a liquid crystal optical device that uses electrodes to apply a non-uniform electric field to the liquid crystal to deflect the liquid crystal molecules and form a regular arrangement state, thereby producing the same optical modulation effect as the glass lens. At present, the optical characteristics of the liquid crystal lens are mainly adjusted by changing the distribution state of the electric field. On this basis, the liquid crystal lens can realize the continuous change of focal length and optical axis. The structure of the square-hole liquid crystal lens is from top to bottom: the upper glass substrate, the upper substrate electrode and the high-impedance film, the first ...
